-------
The National Eutrophication Survey was initiated in 1972 in
response to an Administration commitment to investigate the nation-
wide threat of accelerated eutrophication to fresh water lakes and
reservoirs.
OBJECTIVES
The Survey was designed to develop, in conjunction with state
environmental agencies, information on nutrient sources, concentrations,
and impact on selected freshwater lakes as a basis for formulating
comprehensive and coordinated national, regional, and state management
practices relating to point-source discharge reduction and non-point
source pollution abatement in lake watersheds.
ANALYTIC APPROACH
The mathematical and statistical procedures selected for the
Survey's eutrophication analysis are based on related concepts that:
a. A generalized representation or model relating
sources, concentrations, and impacts can be constructed.
b. By applying measurements of relevant parameters
associated with lake degradation, the generalized model
can be transformed into an operational representation of
a lake, its drainage basin, and related nutrients.
c. With such a transformation, an assessment of the
potential for eutrophication control can be made.
LAKE ANALYSIS
In this report, the first stage of evaluation of lake and water-
shed data collected from the study lake and its drainage basin is
documented. The report is formatted to provide state environmental
agencies with specific information for basin planning [§303(e)], water
quality criteria/standards review [§303(c)], clean lakes [§314(a,bj],
and water quality monitoring [§106 and §305(b)] activities mandated
by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
-------
Ill
Beyond the single lake analysis, broader based correlations
between nutrient concentrations (and loading) and trophic condi-
tion are being made to advance the rationale and data base for
refinement of nutrient water quality criteria for the Nation's
fresh water lakes. Likewise, multivariate evaluations for the
relationships between land use, nutrient export, and trophic
condition, by lake class or use, are being developed to assist
in the formulation of planning guidelines and policies by EPA
and to augment plans implementation by the states.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I. CONCLUSIONS
A. Trophic Condition:
Survey data indicate that Beaver Run Reservoir is mesotrophic.
It ranked ninth in overall trophic quality when the 17 Pennsylvania
lakes sampled in 1973 were compared using a combination of six
parameters**. One lake had less median total phosphorus, five had
less and three had the same median dissolved phosphorus, 13 had
less median inorganic nitrogen, two had less mean chlorophyll a^
and two had greater mean Secchi disc transparency. Marked
depression of dissolved oxygen with depth occurred at station 1 in
July and October, 1973.
Survey limnologists reported some rooted aquatic vegetation in
the shoreline shallows near station 1, but no algal concentrations
were evident.
B. Rate-Limiting Nutrient:
The algal assay results indicate that Beaver Run Reservoir was
phosphorus limited at the time the sample was collected (04/23/73).
The lake data indicate phosphorus limitation at the other sampling
times as well.
* Table of metric conversions—Appendix A.
** See Appendix B.
-------
C. Nutrient Controllability:
1. Point sources—The phosphorus contribution from known point
sources amounted to 7.9% of the total input to Beaver Run Reservoir
during the sampling year. The individual sources were the domestic
sewage treatment facilities for Gibson Electric, Inc. (4.8%), the
Forbes Trail Mobile Home Park (2.9%), and Consolidated Gas Supply
Corporation, Oakford Station (0.2%). However, the non-point source
phosphorus exports for Beaver Run and Poke Run (see page 14) were
significantly higher than Pennsylvania tributaries studied else-
where (e.g., the mean phosphorus export of six unimpacted tribu-
taries of Shenango River Reservoir* was 15 kg/km2/yr—range 3-36
kg/km2/yr). It is likely that unidentified point sources (e.g.,
sewage effluents from Delmont) contributed significantly to the
nutrient loads to Beaver Run Reservoir.
The present Beaver Run Reservoir phosphorus loading rate of
1.70 g/m2/yr is nearly two times the rate proposed by Vollenweider
(Vollenweider and Dillon, 1974) as a eutrophic rate (see page 14).
For this reason, all phosphorus inputs should be minimized to the
greatest practicable extent to protect the existing trophic condi-
tion of Beaver Run Reservoir.
2. Non-point sources—The mean annual phosphorus load from
non-point sources, including precipitation, accounted for 92.1%
* Working Paper No. 426.
-------
of the total reaching Beaver Run Reservoir. Beaver Run (67.1%)
and Poke Run (14.8%) were the principal contributors. As
discussed above, part of the phosphorus loads remaining after
accounting for the known point-source loads probably is
attributable to point sources rather than to non-point source
contributions. The high phosphorus export rates of Beaver Run
(105 kg/km2/yr) and Poke Run (140 kg/km2/yr) may have resulted
from underestimation of the contributions of the known point
sources or to unidentified point sources in the drainage basin.
The contribution of the ungaged tributaries is estimated to have
been 9.2% of the total phosphorus input to Beaver Run Reservoir.

III. LAKE WATER QUALITY SUMMARY
Beaver Run Reservoir was sampled three times during the open-water
season of 1973 by means of a pontoon-equipped Huey helicopter. Each
time, samples for physical and chemical parameters were collected from
two stations on the lake and from a number of depths at each station
{see map, page v). During each visit, a single depth-integrated (4.6
m to surface) sample was composited from the stations for phytoplankton
identification and enumeration; and during the first visit, a single
18.9-liter depth-integrated sample was composited for algal assays.
Also each time, a depth-integrated sample was collected from each of
the stations for chlorophyll ^analysis. The maximum depths sampled
were 16.8 meters at station 1 and 8.5 meters at station 2.
The lake sampling results are presented in full in Appendix D and
are summarized in the following table.

2. Discussion -
The control yield of the assay alga, Selenastrum capri-
cornutum, indicates that the potential primary productivity
of Beaver Run Reservoir was low at the time the sample was
collected. A significant increase in yield occurred with
the addition of orthophosphorus alone, but the addition of
only nitrogen did not result in an increase in yield as
compared to the control; therefore, phosphorus limitation
is indicated.

IV. NUTRIENT LOADINGS
(See Appendix E for data)
For the determination of nutrient loadings, the Pennsylvania
National Guard collected monthly near-surface grab samples from each
of the tributary sites indicated on the map (page v), except for the
high runoff month of March when two samples were collected. Sampling
was begun in May, 1973, and was completed in March, 1974.
Through an interagency agreement, stream flow estimates for the
year of sampling and a "normalized" or average year were provided by
the Pennsylvania District Office of the U.S. Geological Survey for the
tributary sites nearest the lake.
Westmoreland County withdraws an average of 1.2 mVsec for municipal
water needs via an aqueduct with the intake located near the outlet
sampling station A-l (Harner, 1973). Outlet nutrient loads were esti-
mated using the withdrawal flow plus the outlet flow and the means of
the nutrient levels measured at the outlet.
In this report, nutrient loads for sampled tributaries were deter-
mined by using a modification of a U.S. Geological Survey computer
program for calculating stream loadings*. Nutrient loads shown are
those measured minus point-source loads, if any.
Nutrient loads for unsampled "minor tributaries and immediate
drainage" ("ZZ" of U.S.G.S.) were estimated using the means of the
See Working Paper No. 175.

nutrient loads, in kg/km2/year, at stations C-l, D-l, E-l, F-l, G-l,
and H-l of Shenango River Reservoir (Working Paper No. 426) and
multiplying the means by the ZZ area in km2.
The operators of the Consolidated Gas Supply Corp. (Oakford
Station) and Gibson Electric, Inc. wastewater treatment plants pro-
vided monthly effluent samples and corresponding flow data. The
operator of the Forbes Trail Mobile Home Park treatment plant did not
participate in the Survey, and nutrient loads were estimated at 1.134
kg P and 3.401 kg N/capita/year.

E. Yearly Loading Rates:
In the following table, the existing phosphorus loading
rates are compared to those proposed by Vollenweider (Vollen-
weider and Dillon, 1974). Essentially, his "dangerous" rate
is the rate at which the receiving water would become eutrophic
or remain eutrophic; his "permissible" rate is that which would
result in the receiving water remaining oligotrophic or becoming
oligotrophic if morphometry permitted. A mesotrophic rate would
be considered one between "dangerous" and "permissible".
Note that Vollenweider's model may not be applicable to
water bodies with short hydraulic retention times.
